<p><em>Abstrak</em><strong> - Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk melihat </strong><strong>respon </strong><strong>mahasiswa Sastra Inggris UAI dalam memahami konflik keberagaman dan pemahaman identitas budaya terkait dengan ideologi multikulturalisme melalui puisi  multikultural kesusasteraan Inggris.</strong><strong> </strong><strong>Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif dengan menggunakan metode <em>reader-response</em> (respon pembaca) dengan subjek penelitian yaitu mahasiswa Sastra Inggris UAI yang mengambil mata kuliah Pengkajian Puisi sebanyak 26 orang. Dengan menggunakan teori  Identitas  oleh Stuart Hall sebagai kajian multikulturalisme dan teori intrinsik puisi, penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan gambaran jelas mengenai respon mahasiswa Sastra Inggris terhadap teks-teks sastra bertema multikultural dan juga gambaran jelas sejauh mana pemahaman lintas budaya mereka. Pada akhirnya hasil ini secara garis besar menunjukkan bahwa pemahaman keberagaman, kepedulian sosial dan toleransi di kalangan mahasiswa sastra Inggris UAI belum baik karena sebanyak 53.86% responden terlihat mengalami kesulitan untuk memahami dan menginterpretasikan isi puisi serta tidak bisa mengaitkan tema puisi dengan kondisi keberagaman di kehidupan mereka sehari-hari. </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong><em>Kata Kunci</em></strong><em> – Multikulturalisme, Identitas Budaya, Identitas Budaya, Tanggapan Pembaca</em></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><em>Abstract</em><strong> – This research </strong><strong>is done to see the English Department students’ response in understanding cultural identity and issues of differences related to the ideology of multiculturalism through interpreting a multicultural poem in English.

By conducting Stuart Hall’s theory of Identity as a multiculturalism analysis and theory of Poetic devices, this research is done to give a clear perspective on the students’ response towards a multicultural theme in a literary text as well as giving view on their intercultural understanding. In the end, this research shows that overall these students’ understanding towards the issue of differences and tolerance is unsatisfying seeing that 53.86% respondents were unable to understand and interprete the poem as well as were unable to relate the theme of the poem to the condition around them in reality. </strong><strong></strong></p><p><strong><em>Keywords</em></strong><em> -<strong> </strong>Multiculturalism, Cultural Identity, Poetic Devices, Reader’s Respond, Stuart Hall</em></p>

ResumoEste artigo aborda a relação aluno-leitura, na prática do texto literário por este sujeito, nas aulas de Língua Portuguesa. A escolha do tema para esta atividade se pautou no “racismo”, a fim de estimular conhecimentos sócio-históricos, por meio de duas obras de Monteiro Lobato: o conto “Negrinha” e um trecho da obra “Peter Pan”, uma das aventuras presentes no Sítio do Pica-pau Amarelo, que foram trabalhadas com uma turma de 3ª série do Ensino Médio em uma escola pública em Cuiabá-MT. Em um mundo em convulsão, fronteiras de todas as formas para os mais frágeis, é importante trazer tais considerações/reflexões, relembrar caminhos, rever o pensamento de alguns teóricos, enfatizar a necessidade, mais uma vez, da mediação de leitura, principalmente, em sala de aula. O problema a ser enfrentado é: de que forma conduzir os alunos para a leitura de um texto literário, principalmente, frente às construções lobatianas? Assim, o objetivo deste estudo é apresentar uma proposta de leitura, sob orientação do Letramento Literário, que instrumentalize os alunos para a leitura de um texto, para no gênero conto, em pesquisa qualitativa, cuja metodologia se baseia em oficinas para ampliação de sentidos coletivos, espaço crítico e dialético. Por meio de Cosson (2006) e outros teóricos que discutem ensino, leitura e literatura, foco deste estudo, espera-se contribuir para a formação contínua de leitores, em sala de aula, a fim de aproximá-los do texto, sobretudo, o literário. Palavras-chave: Leitura. Texto Literário. Ensino. AbstractThis article addresses the student-reading relationship, about reading practice (mainly the literary one) by the subject, in Portuguese classes. The choice of the topic for this activity was based on “racism”, in order to stimulate socio-historical knowledge through two works by Monteiro Lobato: the short story “Negrinha” and an excerpt from the work “Peter Pan”, one of the adventures presented in Sítio do Picapau Amarelo, which were discussed with a final year class in a public school in Cuiabá-MT. In this instable world, with borders of all forms for the most fragile ones, it is important to bring such considerations/reflections, remember paths, review thoughts of some theorists, and emphasize, once again, the need for mediation in reading, mainly in classrooms. The problem to be faced is how to lead students to read a literary text, primarily in relation to Lobatian constructions? Thus, the objective of this study is to present a reading proposal, under the guidance of Literary Literacy, which gives students support to read a text, specifically in the genre short story, in qualitative research, with a methodology based on workshops, for the expansion of collective meanings, a critical and dialectical space. Based on Cosson (2006) and other theorists who discuss teaching, reading and literature, the focus of this study, with this proposal, a contribution is expected to the readers continuous development in classrooms, in order to bring them closer to the text, mostly the literary one.

The Subject

Ivan Cankar (1876–1918), who occupies an honorable place in the Slovenian cultural canon, once changed the course of development of Slovenian literature and influenced the formation of national identity. The national narrative of Cankar was based on contradictions: living far from his people, he sometimes glorified them and sometimes attacked them with heavy criticism; he correlated his homeland with his mother, the mother though being dead. Cankar’s concentration on the subject of mother and homeland is interpreted here in the framework of psychoanalysis. Following Slavoj Žižek, the author develops the idea that it was the mother who became the Symbolic Order representative or Super-Ego for the writer. The concept of “Cankar’s mother”, which became a symbol of self-sacrifice and at the same time repressiveness in the Slovenian cultural space, is considered.
